The parcel was appraised at $570,000; sellers are offering a negotiated bargain sale price of $150,000, and a private donor has pledged $125,000 in matching funds toward the purchase, Patrick said. The town’s option deadline on the property runs through Dec. 31.

The parcel sits inside state park land that Arizona State Parks and Trails acquired earlier this year; the buildings occupy a small blue parcel surrounded by the orange park property shown on the Trust’s plan, Patrick said. He described the site’s historical connections to the Fred Harvey Company’s early 20th-century dairy and to the first territorial government seat and said the Trust and partners see tourism and trail connections as community benefits.

Architect Bill Otwell told the council he could prepare “as-found” documentation and an emergency stabilization scope and cost estimate that would let the town know what rehabilitation would require. Otwell said he could complete a stabilization scope and contractor estimates by November if the town engaged him immediately, which would give council a month before the option deadline to decide whether to buy.

Acting staff and some council members raised questions about ongoing costs and who would manage the buildings if the town acquired them. Town staff said the current town budget did not include money for the acquisition or the follow-up stabilization work, and that staff would return with a proposal showing one-time purchase and stabilization costs, minimal ongoing costs, and options for outside funding and partnerships to avoid burdening the general fund.

Council members and presenters discussed possible interim measures. Supervisor Brown said sellers would remove hazardous drums before closing and that volunteers coordinated through the probation department could help clean out nonhistoric debris. Otwell recommended an inventory of items inside the buildings before any cleanup, and said some contractors would need to price roof and stabilization work rather than relying on rough estimates.

Town staff characterized the current next step as returning to council with a formal action item that lays out purchase costs, stabilization scope and cost, funding sources and options for private partnerships or leases to operate the buildings. No formal motion or vote to purchase was taken at the meeting; council instructed staff to bring an action item back for council consideration.

Clarifying details included in the meeting: the parcel contains three to four historic buildings (including a mule wintering barn and milk barn), was appraised at $570,000, is being offered to the town for $150,000 because of a negotiated bargain sale and a private donor’s $125,000 match, and the town’s option deadline is Dec. 31. The parcel includes an on-site well described as an exempt well; staff said there are no transferable water rights included with the purchase.

The council did not vote on acquisition at the Sept. 24 meeting; staff will present an action item with costs and funding options before the option deadline.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Chino Valley Town Council - Study Session and Regular Meeting - September 24th, 2024","oneSentenceSummary","Michael Patrick of the Trust for Public Land told the Chino Valley Town Council on Sept. 24 that his group can offer the town an option to buy a nearly 23‑acre parcel inside the new Del Rio Springs state park that includes several historic Fred Harvey–era buildings.","taxTitle","Chino Valley, Yavapai County, Arizona","taxId",53885,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6252214,"Resident urges town action on speeding and pavement damage on Perkinsville Road near Old Home Manor",92,4684000,4776000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3190583-7f86695e8e0f0b2ee8ad1629822a00ba&start=4684&end=4776","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3190583-7f86695e8e0f0b2ee8ad1629822a00ba/thumbnail_4684000.jpg","/articles/6252214/Chino-Valley/Yavapai-County/Arizona/Resident-urges-town-action-on-speeding-and-pavement-damage-on-Perkinsville-Road-near-Old-Home-Manor","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6252214-53522caabad8a81fbbb139da1d8d688b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138689&Signature=k1TKtmLhAtDz9LZsBG1KW10peJ-bnck2SdjLq0G-ZVa0x5eWqqlZykqoUVliRyjL9JeggyiWvz06xnuJaG49sCVHRaosTGsCq2b8nf824EeOkl380AePlwV24Hf2iAgi-YMAX9i1x3i8khYeB8UlV2i-g4s6D7LrF6Wylqi1ILP30g6d9AfR6zccqd3N9Vx1OoZdJ8~tbLLVmrngdBvapLv~KzPo36225bzuB5bPzYXew5yoPIg7MYtpkgyjBm7qVhiReODT3qt615QU~r4t6yW-Cqq3VdjtZN3yxsZqk9WmOWrrt4LyXndSHBtPZN-cz6ZB2YIwWnhRzofztCyGgQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jennifer Gallaher raised safety concerns during the Sept. 24 public‑comment period, telling the council that large trucks, horse trailers and other traffic use Perkinsville Road at high speeds, creating dangerous conditions for pedestrians and causing repeated rumble and cracking that has damaged her home.

Gallaher said speed limit signs have not reduced speeding, that there are no sidewalks and that delivery drivers have narrowly escaped collisions when stopping for mail. She said she paid about $1,300 out of pocket to repair cracks in ceilings and walls she attributes to vibration from heavy vehicles, and expressed worry that planned development — including a proposed RV park near Old Home Manor discussed elsewhere on the agenda — could worsen the problem.

Council told Gallaher staff would pass speeding concerns to the police chief for follow‑up; no formal agenda action was taken at the meeting.","A resident told the council that heavy vehicles and high speeds on Perkinsville Road are creating safety hazards and structural damage to nearby homes, and asked the town to address sidewalks, enforcement and road repair before more development increases traffic.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6252217,"Council approves $444,185 contract for Outer Loop Road chip seal and overlay",184,3187000,3371000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3190583-7f86695e8e0f0b2ee8ad1629822a00ba&start=3187&end=3371","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3190583-7f86695e8e0f0b2ee8ad1629822a00ba/thumbnail_3187000.jpg","/articles/6252217/Chino-Valley/Yavapai-County/Arizona/Council-approves-444185-contract-for-Outer-Loop-Road-chip-seal-and-overlay","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6252217-8935f78dc13d9face947be0321a52c19/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138689&Signature=ha-90vTI6B7GaoNpGB08ChkhJr0GXZL-sD-J53uEmTd1ec9FmOSGvBZNGwCAL9ZSe5apsAYATF3OI4eKBWpWzbUWRZm-~USKKRMMHnHkxzkuvcybwpGVHKDKhkBqsAoyZwEjBDD87Fxdf6RJ6vrjSqrhe95bzyPv2GP5IG0nIZaO9QOkCaKM2x3b2Yhq5JIkmkJZmmSTzvuKwC2znNjvy93qjk4MA0kmN7RDz3qZJdEOTTjbSRKDwdF9yvvT-x51dlumWN4tpMDwALMjpFXRZUXXu9i6cPzUxXhB7YK-HluDnnxJFvfZftDMEhn3ljD4RLStdjaaMIY6RCjV9-sd8Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Chino Valley Town Council authorized a cooperative purchase job order with Cactus Asphalt to perform a polymer‑modified asphalt rubber chip seal and a 2‑inch overlay on a town‑owned segment of Outer Loop Road, between Highway 89 and Road 1 West.

Public Works staff said the treatment includes limited milling to level ruts, installation of a stress‑absorbing membrane and a 2‑inch asphalt overlay. The proposal — option 2 in staff materials — is priced at $444,185.51 and falls inside the $450,000 budgeted for the project. Council approved the job order by motion.

Staff described option 2 as providing structural support to slow recurring rutting; an alternative cape‑seal option was cheaper but offered less structural benefit. With option 2, staff said the surface treatment should be expected to last roughly five to ten years before more extensive rebuilding is needed; full reconstruction of the road would cost substantially more, on the order of $1.5 million, according to the town’s pavement management guidance.

The work will proceed through the cooperative purchasing contract and staff will schedule construction to complete the project before winter.","The council approved a cooperative job order with Cactus Asphalt for a polymer-modified asphalt rubber chip seal with a 2‑inch overlay on a town‑owned section of Outer Loop Road, at $444,185.51, within the project budget.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6252223,"Council approves conditional use permit for Circle K soil‑remediation equipment; above‑ground units allowed with screening",182,3393000,3575000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3190583-7f86695e8e0f0b2ee8ad1629822a00ba&start=3393&end=3575","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3190583-7f86695e8e0f0b2ee8ad1629822a00ba/thumbnail_3393000.jpg","/articles/6252223/Chino-Valley/Yavapai-County/Arizona/Council-approves-conditional-use-permit-for-Circle-K-soilremediation-equipment-aboveground-units-allowed-with-screening","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6252223-e4ed064b357d79f728051e9a81235d11/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138689&Signature=IAND~CjaAEMlTCKOPI~IVXEvRDQ1wvtVseYp0nnaRIc4gGrfSkSw1uID0uHTZVP7uW2GqP2761CqfqN-h5OGm~0XlWS5eA0uBN4XdsAITtqYobZ7usQfNO5-EOG0FdlFCIICeP2ZJYAXUJEm8oa0DKuKqo9h1tJjeLdnJXPvcjqaKV8w~LQ40Da~zWle0B-MsWd26sfx7MPr3YyCBXPG-hz4yc-TNhQPLFmdDekZDaL9M2GMX-1e8R73VuORdHa68-eIYFb5nHXneDzH0TFVyhTQ3kXAyKCljBHbcbmKPH4sYx327fIweevNWo6OP57gn2~FWSXtbs7-l-LO0adD9Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Chino Valley Town Council unanimously approved Resolution No. 2024‑1271 on Sept. 24 permitting above‑ground soil‑remediation equipment at the Circle K site in the Butterfield Village Plaza near State Route 89.

Will Denji, assistant director for Development Services, said the permit covers only above‑ground equipment and visual and audible impacts; any subsurface remediation and monitoring remain under county, state or federal regulatory jurisdiction. He described the on‑site inventory as two catalytic oxidizers, a 1,000‑gallon diesel tank, two 36‑kilowatt generators, a 1,000‑gallon propane tank and two 55‑gallon drums for condensate. The site was already operating under an at‑risk approval while the CUP was pending; approval will allow the applicant to connect to permanent electrical service so the operation need not run on generators full time.

The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval on July 16 but removed an earlier condition requiring landscaping around the screened concrete‑block wall, noting the CUP is temporary (four‑year term) and planting would have limited effectiveness during the permit term.

Council opened a public hearing; no members of the public spoke on the CUP. Following discussion, the council approved the resolution to formalize the above‑ground remediation site’s screening and operating conditions.

The permit language and staff presentation emphasize that below‑ground remediation activities, monitoring and enforcement remain with county/state/federal agencies and are not part of the town’s CUP.","The council approved a conditional use permit to allow above‑ground remediation equipment at the Circle K on State Route 89 and Butterfield, including catalytic oxidizers, temporary fuel tanks and generators; the planning commission removed a landscaping requirement and staff had already issued at‑risk permission to operate.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6252228,"Chino Valley staff outline $9.2M reclamation upgrade and $10.2M Old Home Manor water project; ADEQ to fund Bright Star PFAS work",779,2415000,3194000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3190583-7f86695e8e0f0b2ee8ad1629822a00ba&start=2415&end=3194","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3190583-7f86695e8e0f0b2ee8ad1629822a00ba/thumbnail_2415000.jpg","/articles/6252228/Chino-Valley/Yavapai-County/Arizona/Chino-Valley-staff-outline-92M-reclamation-upgrade-and-102M-Old-Home-Manor-water-project-ADEQ-to-fund-Bright-Star-PFAS-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6252228-61dc24a80604975d0bae102bdbbcaaaa/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138689&Signature=Mv5EJUXnzdWIWS-3AcpLLLId7uPk98dLlAtOw2qAknyGxy2k~YBEDEpAksuuzfyAFGey7BhyNIyMD0Hh~g4U46Apf5w55q0ZrtLq0xgGCQYNQvKv1b6Om9YnmVh5gd-VKNxoojXZC4chW2zglbzZ3vbgZtqwLZagetP5rJwvemdfTFdtCS3Towpu93tFzEWZEaUgfLjFGnYB8PsNVKAaj-UDqelkiMqbF-l~oXeDxkHbluVuzUwqcgmoSCd9uM-N7o9l-tEqzczCAlnpr4BHmzE1pcqUQ-qsT-9q5h79K~xazm51URAzNW8gbVD8UhgCidrfUq6lUKReDIbBs-EQ6A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Town staff and outside consultants presented a multi‑part update on Sept. 24 about wastewater and drinking‑water projects that town leaders say are needed to improve reliability, meet water‑quality concerns and add production capacity.

Staff described an updated scope of modifications to the Town’s water reclamation facility (WRF) that has grown since an earlier assessment. Taylor Pierce of PACE Engineering said a 30% design estimate reflects additional site, electrical and structural work; he said the revised WRF package now totals about $9.2 million, up from earlier estimates, largely because of extra grading, drainage and structural work to address clay soils and operational needs.

Council heard that the town also needs a second water production facility to reduce the utility’s operational risk. Corolla Engineering had estimated a conceptual Old Home Manor facility with storage and booster improvements at about $10.2 million. Staff said both projects are candidates for Water Infrastructure Finance Authority of Arizona (WIFA) funding with an anticipated 60% loan / 40% grant mix, and that the town’s current multi‑year water rate plan can support the additional debt without changing rates.

Dan Jackson, the town’s rate consultant, told council the rate plan adopted last year should cover the new debt, and that typical customers would see roughly $2–$3 per month in increases over the next two years as the plan phases in previously authorized adjustments. Jackson said the rate study assumed about $12 million of new debt over five years; the new projects fit inside that projection and therefore do not require a rate change at this time.

On PFAS (per‑ and polyfluoroalkyl substances), staff said tests show the Bright Star well exceeded the EPA’s recently finalized maximum contaminant level (MCL) for PFOA (4 parts per trillion). Bright Star’s PFOA measured about 8.94 ppt; Chino Meadows 2 also tested nearly double the MCL, while the Country West wells were below the MCL but detected smaller levels. Town staff said the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) will cover pilot testing, engineering and final remedy construction for Bright Star’s PFAS treatment, and that those costs are not expected to be borne by the town.

Staff recommended pursuing both the $9.2 million reclamation package and the $10.2 million Old Home Manor production project using the WIFA loan‑grant mix, and said the town’s finance director will bring a debt‑authorization item to council in October to begin the WIFA process. Staff also proposed a $25,000 wellhead protection study that could be added to an ongoing groundwater modeling contract for substantially lower cost than a standalone study.

Council did not take a final vote on project approvals at the meeting; staff sought direction to proceed with funding applications and to return with required debt authorization and construction‑phase approvals.","Town staff and consultants updated the council on proposed water projects: roughly $9.2 million in water reclamation facility modifications, a $10.2 million new production facility at Old Home Manor, and ADEQ-funded PFAS remediation at Bright Star. Staff recommended pursuing WIFA 60/40 loan‑grant funding and returning with debt authorization.","actionData","errors"]
